So I ran this list the other day. I liked the missiles on Miranda, they did well. Slow rolling this list is a must. The a wing was very hard to get the missiles off with. I was consistently out of arc or too close. I was playing against a palp shuttle + Vader and Turr so they were pretty zippy.

I killed Turr the round Miranda rocketed him with TL and focus. I ended up with 6 hits and 2 got through. Jan then finished him with here tlt.

It was probably my fault not getting the a wings off but it's really hard to set up the ranges against those ships when you are such low ps.

I think im gonna sub out the a wing for 2 z-95s, one with missiles. It will look like this:

More bodies, more red dice, more blockers. Less of a big deal if one goes down but still has the 2nd missile but I won't be able to get the TL and focus combo unlike the a wing.

Will see how it goes. I'll let yall know next time I play.

Did you win the match? And did the list seem low on firepower after the initial missile strike?

Hey guys i made a couple of alpha strike lists too, what do you think?

Miranda focuses for her action, so when airen attacks, miranda now has the maximum amount of options to target lock. And Jan can strip tokens or soften the target before the missle flies.

Edit: At 98 points you get a pretty decent initiative bid, or room for further up grades.

So I recenly had the chance to fly my Miranda/Jan Ors/Green Squad list against a friend with a Wedge/TenNumb (VI)/Dutch list. We werent allowing proxies so didnt have Long Range Scanner or Guidance Chips.

It did not go well for me.

I did make a poor tactical choice with my A-Wing where I was caught out trying to outflank and the prockets were never launched (I never manage to launch them!) and the VI on Ten Numb saved him many times from the missile strike as I could get a target lock but then he moved out of range before Miranda could fire. I managed 1 missile salvo against Dutch and landed five hits which made me happy but I was handily defeated before I could do much else.

Surprisingly the HWK survived pretty well and contributed some firepower with a TLT.

Overall, whilst I did fly poorly, I think this list won't be enough to take on high health lists like B's and Y's or large ships but will crush fragile Ace lists if you can shoot first.

Interested to see what a difference the LRS may make when it arrives
